Of my three cats, two of them love to interrupt potty time to cuddle. :| I always thought it was so weird, but I'm relieved to read all the comments that say their cats do it too! LOL Yep, they pick a strange time but it's probably because they know we are trapped in there for a bit so they can take advantage. Don't you think?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who gets visited in the bathroom. I don't understand why they get so affectionate in there. They push the door open, sit on my lap, play in the bathtub, curl up in the sink...One of my cats LOVES to be held while I'm in my bathrobe. :-)

Yep. And there's no locking them out unless you want screaming crying, fighting, paws under the door rattling of the door, toys pushed under the door, amongst other annoyances. And when I take a bubble bath or shower it's the same routine. Then they sit by the shower and stare through the steamed glass at me or on the aide of the tub playing with the bubbles and looming at me like I'm the bravest person (or craziest) for subjecting myself to water torture. Occasionally the boys will wrestle while I'm soaaking and one will fall in the tub. That's the end of relaxation right there. *sigh* wouldn't change them for anything though!

My cat does that to my boyfriend, but not to me :(. He even goes to the point where runs to the bathroom and starts his "I want cuddles" meows as soon as he suspects my boyfriend is heading there.I'm kind of jealus.

This is my LIFE! I'm always in a mad race against my girl cat - and I can never beat her to the bathroom, so closing the door and keeping her out is never an option. I'm then desperately trying to keep my legs covered because she ALWAYS tries to jump on my lap, I try to rebuff her, and it results in claws digging in to my bare knees/thighs. I have the scars to prove it. If I'm able to block her from jumping on my lap, she vaults onto the sink, and then crosses from the sink, onto my shoulders where she perches for the duration of time that I'm on the toilet. I still haven't figured out how to fix that situation.

thought: is there catnip hidden in all cat owner's bathrooms? is it a conspiracy of some cat kind?I miss having a cat who is cute + cuddly in the bathroom ... believe me, you'll miss it when it stops! :)

I have one kitty in particular who likes to come in while I'm doing my business... and climb INSIDE my pants while they're around my ankles. x_x I can't help but laugh at her, even while it creeps me out!! LOL

I saw one other person posted that their cat does this too. I'm glad my Starlight isn't the only one. o.o

yep! My cat Petunia always follow me to the bathroom. Whenever I close the door (I live by myself) she starts scratching it until I lose my patience--and feel sorry for her, of course. Poor her, I think.

Then she always do this. Petunia sits on my legs and starts immediately to sleep. Oh, I must say, in a very very adorable way. She purrs so loud! so I can't help it.I stay there for as long as I can. Till I cannot fell may legs anymore, normally :s

My fatty cat Orfeo ALWAYS does that. Worst thing is: in the morning, half asleep, I tend sit with my head leaned forward and he tries to jump to my shoulders... when he fails (did I mention he doesn't have the ninja factor all cats have?) he leaves me scratched and horribly confused, but it's WAY better than finding yourself sitting on there, stuck with a cat sitting and purring on your neck! :D

My Bowie loves to jump on your lap and purr contentedly while you use the toilet. Sometimes I sit longer then I have to because I don't want to disturb him. What's weird is that he really isn't much of a lap cat otherwise!

hehe so true! My cat Yuki (white, blue eyes, deaf) always comes into the bathroom, even when you're not there. I think it's mainly because of the water, she waits (meows allot and really loud) for me to turn on the tap.She likes to play and drink the water! She's a wee nutter!Love your drawings Yasmine, almost everyone of them I relate too :)

Ba'el (my 22lb long hair) would get in the shower and sit in the corner that was the least wet to watch and talk. One day my ex-girlfriend had just gotten into the shower and we were talking through the door when he started pulling at it to open the sliding door and go in. He was looking at me opening the door, hopped in, let out a surprised meow and came running out. I guess he thought I would be in there? He has not "asked" to be in the shower since

one of my cats, Luna, always waits outside the bathroom door for me. She will always put her front paws up on my knee, then stretch one paw up in the air as if she's reaching out to me. So cute. If I leave the bathroom door open, she'll sit and wait for me to shower. Weird little thing! Sweet though :)

oh, yes... and he has to watch me shower...while the dog waits at the door.if I'm completely cruel and close the door ignoring his meowing, he waits with the dog at the door till I get out, and then runs into the wet bath tub and just sits there getting wet, till I carry him out...

Every morning I spend some 30 minutes with my spoiled littler girl on my lap in the bathroom. I cant get up untill my legs feel numb. But I enjoy having her with me. So I just read the news from my phone and make the most of this time. Omg I sound so crazy. I would like to use this comic in my Turkish blog to introduce you. Hope it is ok with you? Cheers

If I close the bathroom door, my cats will go frantic trying to get to me, with the paws under the door, rattling the door, and crying, "Mommy, nooooooooooo! No go pee without us! We have to protect you from the scary flush monster! If you fall in, who will feed us?" It's really easier just to leave the door open ^.^

This is exactly why I love your blog...Every tiime there's a new post, I show it to my husband, and we get a good laugh because it has definitely happened to us, in fact, one of our cats also likes to sit between my legs and "guard" me, too...and then there's the toilet sniffer...and, somewhere around the house, there's a picture of one of our cats sitting in my hubby's boxers while he's using the toilet...

I have one cat who lives part time on our towels in the bathroom shelves, and the other likes to rush in whenever I go down the hallway and turn on the light... When he does make it he just sits on the sink and gives me baby eyes or when he's in a really good mood he will sit on the back of the toilet and put his head on my shoulder. Admittedly he is better than he used to be, he had an obsession with chewing on my fingers and my ring and whenever he was stuck in there with me he would stand on 2 legs and do that. Very annoying but he's my baby and I guess I made him that way. Oh, and he also tries to break down the door every time I'm in the shower and he's not in there... stuffs toys through the bottom, tries the handle, throws himself at it, etc. I really do love your blog, I wish I had thought of drawing myself with my cats... sort of creepy so better you than me! Look forward to seeing more!

This happens to me. 2 out of my 5 cats will also join me in the bathroom if I am taking a bath; one is adventurous to climb up on my lap while I am in the tub, if my legs are projecting even a little bit above the surface of the water.

Oh, god, all the TIME. Except instead of getting up on my lap, my cat flings himself onto his back by my feet and insists on getting belly rubs. It's really hard to pee when you're leaning to the side rubbing a cat's stomach, let me tell you.

I'm glad to see all these comments. I thought only my cats were weird. With 6 cats I usually have an audience. They do not get into my lap, but one will get on the back of the toilet, another on the edge of the tub and one on the sink. No privacy.

My cat does this and now so does my DOG. I figure, hey, I watch them pee and poop--heck, I even PICK UP their poop, so I should just let it go. It doesn't bother me but it sure creeps out my fiance! :P

Yes my cat does this; and recently I got a new kitten and he learned to do this from my older cat. So now the older one will get on my lap first, then the little one will get on top of the other one. It's quite an experience at my house for me to use the facilities now lol

It happens to my husband almost every morning. His cat does that, mine just walks by. Now my dog on the other hand, wishes I would let him crawl into my lap... But he's 35 pounds! And sitting on my lap in an arm chair is not the same as sitting on my lap on the toilet, haha.Some friends get so disturbed when my animals try to follow them into the restroom, haha.

Unfortunately it does! My 8 month year old, Dexter goes into a mixture of curiosity and panic whenever I go to the bathroom. Panic only ensues when I close the door for privacy. :P His little paws then frantically try to find me from under the door. ^_^

I wondered whether this happened to other people...glad to know it does! We have four cats and two of them are confirmed toilet-time cuddlers. Often I'll end up spending far more time in the bathroom than I actually need to, simply because I don't have the heart to disturb them once they've settled onto my lap so contentedly. Sigh.They also enjoy bathtime - I've had to build a platform especially for the furballs so that they can be sociable without falling into the tub with me ( panicked cats and bare skin are a bad combination! ).I've actually had our youngest puss Karma, a personable little tuxedo-kitty, crawl onto my chest while I'm reading in the bathtub. He'll curl up, his tail dangling in the water ( doesn't seem to bother him much ), and happily stay there until I move him. Nothing like wet cat fur up your nose when you're trying to relax. ( chuckle ).;)

One of our bathroom doors is very easy to open, and my cats ALWAYS open it wide just for the sake of letting you exposed with your pants on your knees (I live with my family)! ¬¬*Sometimes they start begging loudly while rubbing my legs, but most of the time they just want to embarass you.

Yeah, one of our cats does that, only she doesn't sit on our lap... The sink is right next to the toilet and she likes to get up on the sink and rub against my head while I use the toilet... Of course, she does sit on the toilet seat a lot, especially when I want to use it! :D

Most of my 6 are like that. In fact thats how my fat girl Tiger finally started being nice to people, but my tuxedo Scootie he knows that the bathroom is no social time.....he pees in the toilet. =^..^= L. Warren

Yup, Binx does this too. Also, if I just needed to wash my hair and leaned over the tub to do so (not actually getting in and taking a shower), he used to sit next to me and cry, like he was afraid I was going to drown. Doesn't do it anymore though, guess he figured out I wasn't suicidal.

Oh yes, this happens to me. If I manage to get into the bathroom without the cats (I have three) they'll push the door open. It doesn't have a lock and they figured out how to hit it just right...and they push it WIDE open. This is especially disconcerting when one is in the shower.

One of my cats loves his morning "toilet cuddles", complete with flopping and rolling about on the mat for tummy cuddles - but he won't really do this anywhere else in the house. The other cat used to like to drink from the tap, but now that he's a bit large for the basin he doesn't tend to do this anymore.I thought it was very odd, but it seems to be another catism :-)

yah, this happens to me too! I just thought it was because it was morning. He also likes to swirl around my legs, or curl up in a ball on the bathmat beside me. BUT, when I reach for toilet paper (i think a sign of, I'm leaving) he'll run outside and wait at the food bowl.

Oh my God....I am CRYING! I hate to say it, but this has happened to me. Many times. Where has your blog been all my life? This is hysterical. I'm even going to send a link to my Mom...that oughta freak her out!Thank you, thank you, thank you!xo Deirdre

Every day! And they like to stand up on their hind legs and put their front paws on my knees and make happy kneading motions. And since my knees are bare, the little sharp claws poke me and I have to shoo them away.

I thought my cat was just a freak. Only one does it but she likes to jump on your shoulders instead of the lap. You have to wear a sweater to go into the bathroom or you could end up with back scratchs!

All the time!!! My cat has been doing that since he was a little kitty. So awkward if I have guests.... :D they may not understand why the hell my cat jumps on them and fall asleep when they are peeing.

I cannot go into the bathroom and close the door, my cats will sit at the door and sit on their back legs and paw at it with BOTH of their front paws. That is 6 little feet scraping at the bathroom door until I get up and go open it. Needless to say, we keep the bathroom door open.

I have never had one of my babies jump in my lap while I was on the potty. I have had them jump onto the edge of the bathtub and walk completely around the tub while I was taking a bath; sometimes they even fall in. I usually put the toilet seat down when I take a bath, so they have something to perch on.

GIRL YOURE NOT ALONE !!!!Hi!! i´m Sofía , i´m from Colombia (my english sucks) and Calabaza (my cat) its more like a stalker, she follow me everywhere ,but i think it's her way of tell me " i love you" (or i like to believe that).ps: I love your Blog!!!!

My older cat doesn't, but my kitten follows me into the bathroom, rubs up against my legs while I'm on the toilet, and then when I get up and flush the toilet she runs up to it, leaps on top, and sits on the edge of it while she watches it flush. She's a really weird cat. And yes, I thought I was the only one too.

My bathroom is open and a part of my bedroom. Off to the right is just a small room with a door and a toilet. The door closes, but doesn't latch so Korben takes that as, "I guess that means I can push the door open and go on in while she's in there." He does it to company too. Must fix door soon!

yessss!!!!! my cats will do anything they can to get on to my lap for cuddles when I'm on the toilet. If I lock them out while I go they scratch and cry at the door lol. They sit on the bath which is next to the loo, and will softly touch my face with their paws.... it's cute but I haven't peed alone for years haha!

For me this is almost the only time of the day my Momo is letting me pet him. Cuddling like nothing else matter in the world (peeing included). I didn't think someone else is having the same kind of precious moment sitting for a "number", I'm glad I'm still normal, dissapointed my Momo is that normal :))

Mine like to "go" with me. We have two bathrooms with a litter box next to the human toilet in each one. I'll be sitting there and someone will come in (usually Jake, my Aby boy), go into the box, and just start going next to me.

All of my cats have been "bathroom buddy" cats. Two seem to especially enjoy sharing the clothes I'm wearing at the time, if they happen to be pajama bottoms, shorts etc.

And my neighbor's cat ALWAYS follows EVERYONE into the bathroom to keep them company. She may not hop in your lap, but you had better not completely shut the bathroom door! There will be a riot on the other side if you do.

Interesting side note: they have observed me do "it" so many times, they copied Mommie by peeing in the bathroom sink and over the drain hole in the bathtub and.... get ready...in the toilet itself!! I kid you not!

Hey, I don't mind. It sure saves on the litterbox duty. I just spray the sink and tub with a little cleaner, rinse and Voila! What could be better?

Fortunately, it's never been a #2. That would be a drag. "Gee, I feel like a nice, long hot bath...OMG! What the -"!!

Oh and I forgot to add that my boyfriend thinks it's weird if the cats come into the bathroom so he chucks them out haha! I don't mind it as long as Yuki doesn't knock everything of the shelf like she always does. She's broken so many things so have to close the bathroom door if we are out and make sure no cups etc are left on the kitchen bench:-| We call her Sir Isaac Newton Kitteh :P

I have had my cat Wedough for about 5 years and for those five years I have never been alone in the bathroom. It is the only time that he wants to be pet. And, he purrrs so loud. I consider it our quality time. I absolutely love, love, love it. He stays on my lap for about 10 or 15 minutes then he jumps down and walks out the door. As he walks out, I have to grasp his tail and let it slide through my hand. If I don't get his tail, he will stand right in front of me until I do. I don't understand why some of you think it is weird. The only part of this that is weird ( and I mean this in the nicest way possible ) is the thoughts in your own mind. Get over it. Your cat doesn't think its weird.
